If I wanted Fuck Bootlickers’ take I’d simply read the twitter feed of any tankie sophomore

I can’t help find but find Van Ness off-putting after constantly making digs about Peter Dinklage’s height on Gay of Thrones until Alfie Allen told him to cool it.

My wife and I engage in strap-on play. From my perspective, I love her body and think she’s really sexy and her wearing anything doesn’t detract from it. To me wanting her to wear a strap-on is no different from wanting her to wear a sexy nightie or something like that. She will use a dildo on me more often jsut…

I’m retiring from the commentariat to raise chinchillas.

All music criticism ... except for that truth-telling upstart, Praxinoscope!

Nothing past Ultraviolence has grabbed me yet, but I’m hoping this will. I *really* like LDR at her best (not as much as Pitchfork apparently does, but yeah), but everything I’ve heard past UV has just not done it for me at all. 

I don’t think Pitchfork over sold her by calling her one of America’s greatest living songwriters. I’ve thought this about her for years.

I fucking love your story and am so glad you shared it.

I guess this is the first time I ever thought about explaining why I liked Missy. I would have thought it was self apparent. She was one of the best ever. That’s all there was to it.

Re: weirdness, when Lizzo released her song with Missy, she posted about how she looked up to her and made her feel represented as a chubby, weird, black girl, so ymmv? Her look for “The Rain” video (you know which one I’m talking about) is weird as hell but also iconic and cool, and her videos always seemed out there…

I love Tierra Whack and I never thought about it before, but you’re spot on with how she has a similar vibe. While we’re on the subject of young up-and-coming artists, Jean Deaux has a song that reminds me a lot of Missy—the beat sounds like a cousin to the one in “Get Ur Freak On,” the backwards vocals of course…

black guy here, she connected cuz she was dope. Her songs were catchy as hell and Timbaland was out of his mind good with his production then. Also she wrote a bunch of songs and featured before she got really huge, so she kind had a built in audience waiting.

Her music never read as ‘weird’ to me even during the heyday of gangsta rap in the late 90s. She, along with Timbaland and the Neptunes (seriously, how did so much talent come out of Hampton Roads at the same time?) were just cool. Aaliyah’s One In A Million and Ginuwine’s The Bachelor had already come out and she had…

I feel like Missy generally gets the appropriate credit as an artist/performer – she sold approximately a bazillion albums in her heyday, and any list of the greatest music videos that doesn’t include several Missy entries is one you can safely disregard. Where I think she deserves much, much more credit is as…

I can’t help but wonder if the media finally find it acceptable to acknowledge her now that she has lost some weight. Its bullshit if true, but its the only thing that has changed about her. She is still as epic in every other respect as she always was.

I loved the video for “Throw It Back” so much, there were so many layers. Missy, standing in front of the Herdon House in Atlanta where the first American black millionare lived, as the pink carpet rolls out in front of her should be on bedroom walls everywhere.

Word. Me was a cringe-y first-single choice. We streamed the album a few times at work today, and the overall effort feels much adult, and pleasingly cohesive! That said, the cotton-candy-rainbow aesthetic feels like the $19 Target knockoff of Kacey Musgraves’ whole deal, so minus 5,000 points.

I didn’t take a look at it until a few months ago due to art style. I have no idea it was so funny.

I don’t know why the word monstress is so funny. It just is. 

I think it was Aliens. Or Angela Lansbury and some kids.
